What makes UESI Pipelines Conference different, and how we build for it
The UESI Pipelines Conference is the annual meeting of the Pipelines Division of ASCE's Utility Engineering & Surveying Institute, covering the planning, design, construction, renewal and maintenance of water, wastewater, storm, gas and oil pipelines. The 2027 edition runs August 7–11 at the Kentucky International Convention Center. The exhibit hall carries the Sunday welcome reception, Monday lunch with exhibitors, Tuesday breakfast with exhibitors and the poster presentations, and UESI keeps those hours free of competing technical sessions. Pre-conference workshops, the Large Diameter Pipe Forum, the Bechtel Lecture and a closing technical tour round out the week.
Owners and operators from municipalities and water districts who plan renewal programs and choose pipe, valves and rehabilitation methods.
Engineers who specify pipe materials, linings, couplings and condition assessment and present papers at the conference.
Installation and rehabilitation contractors comparing trenchless methods, fittings and inspection tools.
Agency staff and natural gas, oil and petroleum companies listed in UESI's target audience.

How Purple runs Pipelines 2027 in Louisville
Plinths, walls and prints leave the Fishkill, NY shop for whichever destination the UESI exhibitor kit sets, its advance warehouse or the KICC dock. Setup is a single Sunday window that closes at four in the afternoon, so our project manager schedules heavy samples first and graphics last, with the labor the hall requires, and is done before the 5:30 p.m. reception.
Inside UESI Pipelines Conference 2027
Rules that shape your UESI Pipelines Conference booth
UESI's packages include a table, chairs and a 500-watt outlet only up to 10×30; 20×20 and larger spaces are raw. We order power, carpet and furniture for every island.
Handouts and samples go out from inside the booth footprint only, unless ASCE grants prior permission. Sample displays sit inside the booth line.
Photo, video or audio recording of any educational session needs written permission from ASCE/UESI and the presenters. We keep booth filming to your own space.
Space cancelled in writing before July 1, 2027 is refunded less $150 per 10×10; from July 1 no refunds are made. We time production commitments to that date.
Programs worth planning for
A pre-conference forum on large-diameter pipe held Saturday and Sunday, offered as a Bronze sponsorship at $4,000 per day.
A program for younger engineers with a Sunday session; its sponsorship includes a five-minute welcome and a branded seat drop.
Student teams compete Monday and present Tuesday morning; it is offered as a Silver-level sponsorship.
Held Wednesday, August 11 after the conference; hole sponsorships start at $300, with longest-putt and closest-to-the-pin add-ons.
The UESI Pipelines Conference is where pipe engineers and utility owners present and compare: choose it over No-Dig North America when your buyer writes pipe and rehabilitation specifications rather than running trenchless crews.

The booth we would build for UESI Pipelines Conference 2027
The cut-pipe booth for specifying engineers
Pipelines attendees are the engineers who choose pipe, joints and rehabilitation methods, and they come to the hall during meals. A cut section of your pipe or liner, lit so the layers show, gives them the detail they would otherwise read in a paper, and a screen adds the field proof.
Section plinth
A lit cut section of pipe, liner or coupling at chest height, with wall layers and joint labelled.
Field screen
Inspection or installation video from a real project, readable from the aisle during the lunch crowd.
Spec table
The included skirted table turned into a spec desk with standards, sizes and a QR code to submittal documents.
The demo
Hand an engineer the coupling or liner sample, then show it installed and inspected on screen in under two minutes. Repeat on the half hour through Monday lunch and Tuesday breakfast.
The meetings
There is no published meeting-room program for exhibitors, so book utility and consultant meetings at the host hotel next door by skywalk and keep the booth for walk-ups at meals.
Know the pipe. Trust every joint.

UESI Pipelines Conference 2027 exhibit rules in Louisville: raw space, equipment fuel, drones and fire codes
UESI Pipelines Conference exhibits sit in the indoor halls of the Kentucky International Convention Center, a mix of furnished inline spaces and raw island space. The 2027 prospectus, ASCE's policies and the KICC exhibitor packet set the rules below.
| Rule | What the manual says | What it means for your booth |
|---|---|---|
| 01What space includes | Inline spaces through 10 by 30 ft include skirted tables, chairs and a 500-watt outlet; 20 by 20 ft and larger spaces are raw (2027 prospectus) source | An island buyer orders power, carpet and furniture separately, so we price those services into the build quote from the first draft. |
| 02Literature and samples | Handouts and samples go out only from inside the booth footprint unless ASCE grants prior permission source | Pipe sections, coating coupons and liner cut-aways sit on shelves inside the booth line, never on a table edging into the aisle. |
| 03Equipment fuel | Vehicles and gasoline equipment on display need batteries disconnected, fuel under one-fourth of the tank and unlocked caps taped; no fuel stored in the building (KICC packet) source | A CCTV inspection truck, pump skid or trenchless rig can stand in the hall if it arrives nearly empty with its battery off and the cap sealed. |
| 04Hazard approvals | Heat-producing appliances, compressed gases and flammable liquids need advance approval from the Kentucky State Fire Marshal's representative before arriving (KICC packet) source | Pipe-fusion and welding demos have to clear the fire marshal long before shipping, or they stay off the Louisville floor. |
| 05Closed-top booths | Canopies, ceilings and roofed displays need written fire marshal approval; multilevel requests with stamped engineer drawings are due 90 days ahead (KICC packet) source | An August double-deck means sealed drawings by early May, so we freeze the structure before the summer production run starts. |
| 06Drone flights | Indoor drone use needs a written request naming the pilot, aircraft, flight plan and times, plus $1 million drone liability insurance (KICC packet) source | Pipeline inspection drone makers can fly a demo only with this paperwork filed early; without it the aircraft stays on a static stand. |
| 07Fire-rated decor | All decorations must be fire retardant with flame-spread certificates on hand; items that are not are removed (KICC packet) source | We build with certified fabrics and keep the certificates in the booth binder for the Kentucky inspection on move-in day. |

04 Designing for pipe and fittings, valves, trenchless and rehabilitation, inspection and condition assessment, coatings and engineering services at UESI Pipelines Conference
Designing a Pipelines 2027 booth around a pipe section
1Put the pipe wall at eye level
Engineers at Pipelines judge wall thickness, lining and joints. A cut pipe section on a plinth, lit from the side so the layers show, explains a product in seconds and draws people in from the coffee line.
2Design for meal-time crowds
UESI schedules the welcome reception, Monday lunch, Tuesday breakfast and networking breaks in the hall, with no competing sessions. We keep the aisle edge open and the demo short for those surges.
3Use the screen for inspection data
Inline booths include a 500-watt outlet, enough for a screen showing CCTV, acoustic or electromagnetic inspection results. We lay out the screen so a group can watch it from the aisle.
4Raw space needs everything
From 20×20 up the space is raw: no table, chairs or electric included. We order power, carpet and furniture with the build so an island is complete on Sunday morning.

Pipelines 2027 setup, hall hours and KICC logistics
Exhibit hall setup is Sunday, August 8, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the hall opens that evening at 5:30 for the welcome reception, per UESI's prospectus. After its 2018 rebuild the convention center offers just over 200,000 square feet of exhibit space on one level, and because Kentucky passed right-to-work in 2017, exhibitors can set up their own displays within KICC safety policy and the rules in the service manual. The host hotel, the Louisville Marriott Downtown, connects by skywalk. We ship to the advance warehouse in the exhibitor kit and supervise the Sunday setup.
UESI Pipelines Conference exhibitors can find this building's hall rules, drayage estimates and freight deadlines in our Kentucky International Convention Center exhibitor guide.

Before you sign for UESI Pipelines Conference
Ask any UESI Pipelines Conference exhibit builder these five questions:
- Can you build a lit plinth that carries a cut pipe or liner section safely?
- Will you order power, carpet and furniture if we take raw 20×20 space?
- How will you get our booth set during the single Sunday setup day before the 5:30 p.m. reception?
- Can you ship to the Pipelines advance warehouse and handle the KICC dock?
- Will you produce sponsor window or floor clings to UESI's sizes?
What UESI Pipelines Conference exhibitors ask us
The hall is open only during meals and breaks. Will we get enough time? Those hours carry no competing sessions, per UESI, so attendees are free to walk the floor. A booth that explains the product in two minutes fits that rhythm.
Should we take raw 20×20 space or two inline units? Raw space gives freedom for a large-diameter section but comes with nothing included. Two inline units keep the tables, power and badges; we price both before you book.
Our pipe sample is heavy. Can we bring it? The KICC hall, 200,125 contiguous square feet since 2018, hosts large industrial conventions. We size the plinth and crate for the sample and plan its delivery for the Sunday setup.
